The demo is an import head with a mousey single spring. Hand pressure will not budge a 140+pound on seat spring set without leverage.
Many of them were. The end of my valve tool is mushroomed out from being struck with a hammer. One tap with a hammer, and the keepers come right off. Tap it again to reinstall. Fast & easy with no dropped keepers. This tool, in my opinion, is not a great choice for removing springs on a cylinder head that is on the bench. There are better tools for that. It is however great for on-car service.
